A Curious Secret
When I said that I read
Vita Sackville-West
He didn't get it
When I said I had a yen
To visit Llangollen
and bask in the past
of those infamous ladies
He still didn't get it
When I wrote I was smote
in a Sapphic type verse
He just didn't get it
I even told him of my passion
for Balthus' 'Guitar Lesson'
yet he still didn't get it!
So while we watched
'Gazon Maudit'
and he sat there
obliviously
I asked him to join us
Now he gets it!
